Press & Interviews

Ana Ivanovic is a humble girl, seriously speaking, and with a charming shyness, which comes with her striking features. She says her beauty, as is the case with her fellow players, "is being used to stress the glamorous aspect of tennis. It's complicated to stay away from that. As for me, I enjoy when I have a photo session once in a while, or when I try new styles... but above all, I'm concentrated on the game."

1. Toss is boss
Keep your arm straight and toss the ball in the air with your left hand (lefties should do the opposite). Throw the ball straight up and a little bit in front of the baseline. "Don't toss the ball too high, because it's hard to time your serve," says Ana. The ball should be just high enough to hit the middle of your racket when your arm is stretched out.

Ana is featured in the November issue of Teen Vogue , which goes on sale in North America today.

In the "Beauty Blogger" section, Eva Chen writes:

"The world is Ana Ivanovic’s oyster...She loves to shop, even if her last spree literally made her a fashion victim. “I bought a Louis Vuitton dress with some of my winnings [from the French Open] — it got stolen a week later on a trip to Barcelona!!” she says.

Ana was recently interviewed by Prestup magazine in Serbia. Here is a translation:

What were your first tennis experiences?
The first tournaments I took part in were held in Belgrade, so it was a national level. I remember the first tournament I ever played in; I was in quarter-finals against the No.1 ranked girl and I beat her. At that time I didn’t know what a ranking list was, so I asked my dad to explain it.
